Extraordinary Genius
chapter-874

The morning sun shines onto Feng Yu through the window. Feng Yu was standing by the windows looking at the clouds in the skies and the traffic on the roads. His expression looks like he is waiting for something.

Knock, knock, knock…

“Come in.”

Ralph entered the room and pretended to wipe his sweat from his forehead.

“Boss, this is your letter. I had brought it over.”

Feng Yu smiles when he saw the familiar handwriting on the envelope. “Ok. Just leave the letter here. Good job.”

It’s vital to give subordinates praises when they do something for you.

“It’s my duty. Boss, I will go back to work.” Ralph poured a cup of tea and placed it on Feng Yu’s desk before going out.

Feng Yu tore open the envelope and took out the letter carefully. The paper had a sweet scent of flowers.

The handwriting is so familiar to Feng Yu, and he took a sip of hot tea while reading the letter from Shanghai.

This letter had arrived in Seattle a few days ago, but Feng Yu had been in New York. Just happen, Ralph had to come to New York, and Feng Yu asked him to bring this letter from his home to him.

“Are you doing well in America? Is your work busy? You mentioned that you are working at a world-renowned company there and you must have not time to rest… I had joined a student handicraft society in school. By the time you read this letter, maybe I have already made a masterpiece…”

Zhou Kexin had only written about her daily life and trivial matters in the letter.

The relationship between Feng Yu and Zhou Kexin was no longer ordinary penpals. Although they did not mention anything about their feelings for each other, Feng Yu could sense the changes from the way she writes the letter.

Feng Yu does not know whether if this is a good thing or not. He thought that since he is with Li Na in this life, Zhou Kexin should seek her own happiness. But when Feng Yu think about Zhou Kexin in another man’s embrace, he felt uncomfortable.

Not many things can make Feng Yu feel troubled. Although many people said money is not everything but having lots of money can do a lot of things.

At least, the problems that others will feel troubled will not happen to Feng Yu. Feng Yu can easily solve his troubles with money. But when it comes to relationships, money can’t do anything. At least Feng Yu does not want to use money to settle this.

In front of Kirilenko, Fu Guangzheng, and the rest, Feng Yu acts like a relationship expert and often gives them advice. But he realized he was a joke when he was faced with relationship problems.

In the letter, Zhou Kexin mentioned that a senior at school was wooing her, and she hasn’t decided whether to accept him. Feng Yu suddenly got scared and was worried Zhou Kexin would accept that senior.

But Feng Yu thought about what he can give Zhou Kexin. Half of his heart or a material life which everyone envies?

Feng Yu was not willing to give up on Zhou Kexin and knew it’s impossible to give up Li Na. At this moment, Feng Yu envied the ancient days where a man can have multiple wives.

Even now, many countries still accept polygamy, and in Asia, some countries legalized it. Why did China abolish this practice?

What made Feng Yu more frustrated was Hong Kong also stopped this practice. If not, Feng Yu’s Hong Kong passport can be put to good use.

Wait… I have two passports!

Feng Yu suddenly burst out laughing. Two passports mean he has two identities, and does it mean he can get married twice?

All Feng Yu needs to do is to persuade Zhou Kexin and Li Na. But this should be difficult.

Feng Yu came up with lots of ideas, but in the end, he laughed at himself. Maybe Zhou Kexin does not even like him. If she has no interest, he will not pester him and just be friends with her.

……

Zhou Kexin was sitting by the windows with both hands under her chin. The last letter she received was when school started. Now, it’s almost school holidays, and she still has not received any replies.

Should I save up my money and send an express letter like him?

“Kexin, what are you doing? Thinking of your boyfriend?” A cheerful girl suddenly appears behind Zhou Kexin.

Zhou Kexin got a fright and patted her chest. “You gave me a scare.”

“Writing letters every day is not the solution. Do you know about email? Just send him an email and he can receive it when he is online. It will be faster, and you don’t need to buy stamps.”

Zhou Kexin brightens up. That’s right. Why didn’t I think of this before? There are computers in school, and I can send and receive emails there. It will be much faster than regular letters.

Although I will not see his handwriting, I don’t need to wait so long for his reply.

Waiting for letters was once Zhou Kexin’s joy. But now, it had become a torture.

Zhou Kexin had asked herself before. It’s only a penpal and why was she so eager for the other party to reply? They were only chatting about their daily lives.

Zhou Kexin’s roommates and close friends were mocking her, saying her penpal is her boyfriend, and it’s weird that she had never thought of denying it.

But the other party is a graduate of Beijing University and is working at Microsoft currently. How can someone so capable does not have a girlfriend?

Even if he does not have a girlfriend in China, he should have a girlfriend in the US. The women there are more open.

“Eh, Kexin, I am talking to you. What are you thinking?”

“Oh, nothing.”

“Why are you staying in the dormitory on the weekend? Let’s go to the supermarket. Tai Hua Supermarket in front of our school is having a promotion and I had won a 10 RMB voucher!”

“Ah, really? You are so lucky. Let me tie my hair first.”

When they reached the first level of their dormitory, Zhou Kexin looked into the dormitory office as usual. She was disappointed when she did not saw the letter she was waiting for.

“Eh… Stop looking. Are you not tired of staring at the office window? The staff inside knows you. If they have your letter, they will let you know.” Zhou Kexin’s roommate looked at her.

“I am just taking a look. Let’s go to the supermarket.”

“don’t be so excited. The promotion is still ongoing, and you can participate in it too. If you won a 100 RMB voucher, we could buy lots of tidbits.”

……

Zhou Kexin and her roommate returned from the supermarket, carrying a big bag each. They had bought all the cheap tidbits they could find and some hairclips.

On the way back to their room, Zhou Kexin glanced at the dormitory’s office window as usual. Suddenly, she pushed the bag of tidbits she was holding to her friend and ran to the office.

“Aunty Zhao! That letter! That is my letter!”
